“It’s not unlawful to film a crime scene with a mobile phone. And it’s not illegal to try to sell the footage of a heinous crime scene, which police suggest was Pelton’s motive. But it is illegal to trespass on a crime scene, the Lorain Police Department said. Detective Buddy Sivert said Pelton, who posted the footage to Facebook, was charged with vehicular trespassing. ‘We searched to try to find anything to charge him with,’ he said. Pelton was released after posting bond Wednesday and faces a maximum 30 days in jail and a $250 fine if convicted. ‘I just wanted to educate people to slow down,’ Pelton told ABC 5 in Cleveland.”
